Commenters were shut down by people repeating Boeing PR because THEY already knew the outcome.

Thanks to everyone who shut down speculation. You were right! They are 100% coming back on Starliner. There’s no question at all about safety, and the only reason they haven’t come back yet is because it’s a perfect opportunity to study the problem while Starliner is still in space.

That’s what the article said, right? /s

OP are you the author? I disagree with your rankings but enjoyed your commentary. You have good insights into intra-state social dynamics too. Thanks for posting.

Yep. Iconic and looks fantastic on almost any car.

This ranks California’s 10/10 design near the bottom and Texas’ 9.5/10 design way too low.

The blobby multicolored designs ranked highly here don’t look good on an actual car.

Plenty of adblocker extensions on iOS Safari.

For YouTube, I’d recommend Vinegar, although the more general adblockers will also work.

As announced earlier key board members are also resigning.

Have they rotated the deck chairs on the Titanic, or is this a meaningful change?

I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake (lemm.ee)

About 3 or 4 years ago PayPal added the option to buy cryptocurrency, which I thought I’d try. (Dumb idea 🙄)

Part of the sign up process was glitched. I retried and clicked submit one too many times, I guess. Now I’ve been unable to use PayPal for years. They blocked me because THEIR SITE was broken, but the web page essentially accuses me of being a criminal and asks for my bank records. No way in hell.

This was just for me to pay others. I can only imagine how awful PayPal is if you are a vendor.

Fuck PayPal.

Apple Store across the street from an Apple Store -- are there any closer than this? (lemm.ee)

submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Comedian Lewis Black has a routine about “a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks”. Apple Stores aren’t nearly as common.

Unless you’re in Glendale, California -- where Apple Glendale Galleria is across the street from Apple The Americana at Brand.

Are there any other Apple Stores this close together?

The stores are less than 150 meters apart, but unfortunately they aren’t within sight of each other. As you exit Apple The Americana at Brand, you won’t see the other Apple Store — only a notably uncrowded Samsung Experience Store.

How reliable are EV chargers? (lemm.ee)

New EV owner here. We charge at home so I don’t need to use them, but stores nearby have chargers. I tried them to see how they work. They are often broken.

One store has a Volta charger (free!). It worked great the first time; the next time I went it was broken.

Walmart has an Electrify America fast charger. The first time I went, 1 of 3 was not working. The next time I went, 1 of 3 was not working, but it was a different one.

Was I unlucky, or are these charging networks unreliable? Has it been getting better or worse over time?
